| Abstract |
A lightly novelized biography of journalist Elizabeth Jane Cochrane, who adopted the pen name Nellie Bly and helped to launch investigative reporting in America. While working for a Joseph Pulitzer newspaper, she gained fame for a trip around the world in 72 days—copying Jules Verne’s Phileas Fogg—as well as her expose of a New York mental institution in which she faked madness.
